Kiis FM reaches confidential agreement with Melbourne music station Kiss

Melbourne music station Kiss FM has dropped the fight for its name with the Australian Radio Network over its rebranded Kiis station in Sydney following a settlement between the pair.

When ARN rebranded its Sydney station Mix 106.5 as Kiis 1065 late last year Kiss FM manager Timmy Byrne threatened the network with a legal letter calling on the network to cease and desist from using the name, as he said it infringed on its property rights, despite the difference in spelling.

This afternoon Byrne and the ARN have announced a deal has been reached, but are not releasing the details.

“ARN’s new station KIIS 1065 will mutually coexist with Kiss FM in Australia and the matter is now resolved,” Byrne and ARN said in a statement this afternoon.
